I posted here a couple of months ago as my 18 year old boy was diagnosed with very early renal problems. He was doing ok on renal food but over the past couple of weeks he stopped wanting it so I've been feeding him regular food just so he'll eat something.
I took him back to the vets yesterday and he's lost yet more weight and the vet could feel either a growth or possibly his kidney in his stomach area. He said the kindest thing would be to make the decision then but I just couldn't do it 😭
I'm having a rough time of it lately anyway as I've split from my long term partner and he's due to move out this weekend. I know it was selfish but I couldn't bear to part with my boy at the same time, the thought of still at least having him about has been keeping me going.
How do I know when to let go? He's still eating, although not loads and is drinking but he spends most of his day sleeping on the sofa. I don't want to make him suffer but I can't bear the thought of losing him too at the moment 😞
